Technical Aspects of Peroral Endoscopic Pyloromyotomy - 04/11/18
Résumé |
Gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM or POP) is a feasible and effective procedure for the treatment of refractory gastroparesis. G-POEM is a technically demanding endoscopic procedure. As of yet, there is no consensus on the technique. A variety of techniques have been reported in published studies. The essential technical steps of the procedure are (1) establishment of submucosal tunnel in gastric antrum, (2) identification of the pyloric muscular ring, (3) selective circular myotomy, and (4) a 2.5-cm to 3.0-cm length of myotomy. There are still some technical questions unanswered, and more studies are needed to establish standardized techniques and possible improvement of outcomes.
